Jasper's obituary
On January 7th, 2023 Jasper Mac Twitchell, 18, passed peacefully and suddenly in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York. He was born in New York City on January 10th, 2004, and passed away just three days before his 19th birthday. He spent most of his life at his brownstone apartment in Park Slope. He loved making art, producing and making music, skiing in the Catskills of New York and his father's home state of Utah, spending time with his friends and family, and exploring the city. Music was his passion and he shared it through Spotify and Traktrain. He loved the pasta pizza at Roma Pizza right around the corner on 7th avenue. He spent his childhood summers at Camp Half-Blood, right in Brooklyn. He spent afternoons and weekends playing and making new friends at the Park Slope playground down the street on Lincoln Pl. He was an adventurer, very curious and inquisitive. He was a thinker and technologist. He was precocious. He was brilliant. In the words of his cousin, he could hang with the adults and chat about whatever, concepts or abstract things and then would go off and say, “Ok, I’m gonna go and do kid things now”. He spent his early years at PS 282, just down the block from his home, and then transferred over to Greene Hill School, where he met some of his closest friends. He later moved to White Plains, NY, and graduated from White Plains High with a regency diploma honor. He was halfway through his freshman year at Brooklyn College at the time of his passing and was just starting to adjust to his new lifestyle. He is survived by his mother, Adriana Velez-Kalsaker, step-father, Ashwin Kalsaker, and father, Lane Twitchell, as well as tons of family and friends who love him and will miss him greatly.
